Galerie de photos d’un RSO M 75mm PAK, Raupenschlepper Ost, literally « Caterpillar Tracteur Est », est plus communément abrégé en RSO. Ce véhicule léger et entièrement chenu a été conçu en réponse aux mauvaises performances des véhicules à roues et à demi-chenilles dans la boue et la neige pendant la Wehrmacht.’s first autumn and winter on the Soviet Front. The RSO was a contemporary with somewhat similar Allied full-tracked small artillery tractors in use in other armies (such as the Soviet STZ-5 « Stalingradec », et l’armée américaine’s own M4 Tractor), mostly originated from the pre-war light to medium series of Vickers artillery tractors. Two variants of this vehicle were built: the basic cargo carrier, and a self-propelled antitank vehicle armed with a PaK 40 gun. Both shared the same chassis.

Galerie de photos d’un Rooikat, The Rooikat (Afrikaans for « Caracal »; littéralement « Chat rouge ») est un véhicule blindé de combat à roues construit en Afrique du Sud pour l’armée sud-africaine. Il a été conçu pour la reconnaissance de combat et les opérations de recherche et de destruction. Ses rôles secondaires comprennent le soutien au combat, les opérations anti-blindage et anti-guérilla. Le Rooikat est destiné aux missions de pénétration profonde, de sorte que la conception à roues était nécessaire pour la vitesse et pour contrer les conditions désertiques sablonneuses qui pourraient ralentir les véhicules à chenilles.

Galerie de photos d’un Renault UE Tankette, The Renault UE Chenillette was a light tracked armoured carrier and prime mover produced by France between 1932 and 1940. In 1930 the French Infantry decided to develop a light armoured vehicle able to tow and supply small cannon and mortars. In 1931 the Renault company was given the contract for production of its Renault UE, combined with the Renault UK trailer. In 1937, from a number of competitors, the Renault UE2 was chosen as an improved type for large-scale production. Of both types combined over five thousand were built, including licence production in Romania, and they were part of the standard equipment of all French infantry divisions. Most Renault UE vehicles in French service were unarmed; those in 1940 captured by Germany were used for a variety of purposes, including being armed with machine-guns, antitank-guns and rocket artillery.

Galerie de photos d’un RAM Mk.II, The Tank, Cruiser, Ram was a cruiser tank designed and built by Canada in the Second World War, based on the U.S. M3 Medium tank. Due to standardization on the American Sherman tank for frontline units, it was used exclusively for training purposes and was never used in combat as a gun tank. The chassis was used for several other combat roles however, such as a flamethrower tank, observation post, and armoured personnel carrier.

Galerie de photos d’un Schweres Beiwagenkrad M-72 , The M-72 was a motorcycle built by the Soviet Union. Conceived as a replacement for the two heavy motorcycles used by the Red Army—the TIZ-AM-600 and PMZ-A-750—both of which had performed unsatisfactorily during the Winter War with Finland and were considered outdated designs. The replacement chosen was the BMW R 71 which had been rejected by the Wehrmacht as a replacement for the R 12. As a result of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact the necessary legal, political and economic procedures were in place for BMW to provide the design, tooling and training for the manufacture of the motorcycle and military sidecar.

TypeTransport amphibie suivi
Productioncommencé en 1965
Style de corpsCoque étanche

Lla Pts est un transport amphibie à voie soviétique. PTS signifie Plavayushchij Transportyer – Sryednyj ou véhicule de transport amphibie moyen. Son indice industriel était Ob’yekt 65. Introduced in 1965, it is large, with a substantial payload of 10 tons, two to four times the capacity of the BAV 485, and better cross-country performance, at the cost of greater somewhat higher purchase costs because it is tracked. The most common model is the improved PTS-M that is powered by a 350 hp diesel engine. It has a boxy, open watertight hull, with six road wheels per side, front drive sprocket, rear idler sprocket, and no return rollers. Like the BAV 485, and unlike the DUKW, it has a rear loading ramp. The crew is seated at the front, leaving the rear of the vehicle open for a vehicle, which can be driven (or backed) in, rather than lifted over the side. To aid in facilitating this, the engine is under the floor. Propulsion in water is by means of twin propellers, in tunnels to protect them from damage during land operations.
